It would be great if we could clean up this board

It would be great if we could clean up this board and get rid of all the mindless quibbles. There are far too many posts that aren't even articulate, let alone thought provoking on this site.

Many guys on this site are trying to demean anyone who questions Conservatives, in four fairly obnoxious ways.

Examples are:

(1) A petty, completely mindless, attempt at diverting the question, without making any attempt to either answer or even acknowledge it.

Try using the "Insert Image" feature.

Or, rather, please don't (by PocketRocket)

This has been used to a highly cluttering degree on this site

(2) Make fun of the question without making any attempt to answer it.

Can you provide a link with a picture of these guys holding hands??? That would make a wonderful addition to my collection of "Strange Bedfellows" pictures.

I can put it right beside Sonny and Cher (by PocketRocket)

A moderately funny attempt at diverting the question, without making any attempt to either answer or even acknowledge the issue.

(3) Moderate Belligerence under the guise of Humor

I'm afraid your tinfoil hat is wrapped a little too tight. Do you even read what you post? (by Cybercoma)

This is a moderately aggressive, completely mindless, hate filled attack. Note that cybercoma even sounds like Darth Vader (aka key neo-con puppeteer Richard Perle)

(4) Outright hate filled belligerence

With a nickname like RiverGod, hopefully the song they sing will be "Smoke on the Water", right after you and your conspiracy theories get nuked.

My word, you are certainly obsessed. (by PocketRocket)

Again a completely mindless attack without making any attempt to either answer or even acknowledge the issue.

The neo-con movement has clearly become unbalanced when media giants like FOX NEWS label the biggest capitalists in the world as “left-wing” if they don’t pledge unquestioning blind allegiance to Cheney and Bush’s Administration.

The American fanatical-right are trying to create a culture of double-think, where people who question the Iraq War are left-wing traitors who are endangering the troops. Stunningly, zealots who want to expand the crusade to Syria, Iran and Venezuela are supposedly keeping the troops safely out of harms way.

The sad reality is, of course, that the fanatical right is becoming more entrenched as the neo-fascist right (Pillaging National treasuries in the process). The neo-fascist corporate welfare scheme of pork-barreling military contractors and oil companies doesn't seem to be concerned with democracy, freedom or capitalism. It seems dangerously close to an ideology of theft and repression.

That is the *third* time you have posted those four examples on *three* different threads.

If you really want to clean up the board quit triple-posting.

Please quit using all the colours.

Really, this is an unfair request.

His Mum learned long ago that having many crayons, many colours, was an effective way of keeping the lad occupied and out of mischief. It is time you knew that too.

Petty Posts are a rampant enough problem to have a whole thread devoted to the discussion. It's tiring to point out this stuff on post after post inside the blogs.

It might even be an idea to dedicate a few special threads for mindless posters. That might help de-clutter the rest of the board.

Yaaaaawn. Troll. Buh bye.

From a guy that uses half a page for a lot of his posts, that's rich.

Your reference to God as related to Cristianity is rather condescending to Christianity and is in poor taste.

If in fact you consider yourself some sort of god it should be represented with a lower case g and not a upper case G.

At least I've got something to say that's more articulate than "Yaaaaawn. Troll. Buh bye."

No, in point of fact, as Kimmy has already noted, you basically have almost nothing to say. You simply illegally post reams of copyrighted material which is what someone else has to say. You don't appear to be capable of expressing any legitimate opinions or beliefs of your own.
